There also is the basenji university for breeders.

I'm a little further out but would love to meet up? Where were you thinking?

Thank you, I appreciate your response.

Is it necessary to have a basenji's dewclaws removed to show AKC shows? I've noticed that many of the champion basenji's from Europe do not have their dewclaws removed. The BCOA and AKC mentions that the dewclaws are "usually" removed, but if not will this hinder the dogs chances at shows? Thanks you for your advice or experience.
